German Formula 1 Grand Prix now European Grand Prix

This post is complete B******S for which I apologise, see comment reproduced below!!!! The march of the empire continues in even the strangest ways - but who so decreed that Germany could grab that title? Possibly the man who first reportedly bought Blair and Brown over cigarette advertising. Perhaps as a pathetic politicians 'quid pro quo' Wimbledon will in future be the European Tennis Championships - even if that were so where would be the the gain? I stand corrected, thanks to Anonemouse who posted this comment which I reproduce for ease of reference herewith: No, no, no this is not correct. The German grand Prix has not been renamed. The European grand prix has been running for over 10 years and has taken place in Germany, Spain and UK and i think others. Under the GP calendar some countries annual GP does not take place. The German GP is usually held at Hokenhiem and over the past couple of years the European GP has been held at the nurburgring . Under F1 calendar the German GP is not taking place this year and the nurburgring race cannot use the German GP name for legal reasons. The owner of the German GP name would not let it be used. Apologies to all my readers, serves me right for reporting on sport about which I know nothing!!!
